The data have been interpolated from meteorological station data onto a uniform grid to provide complete and consistent coverage across the UK. The datasets cover the UK at 1 km x 1 km resolution. Those 1 km x 1 km data have been used to provide a range of other resolutions and across countries, administrative regions and river basins to allow for comparison to data from UKCP18 climate projections, released annually as verified versions via the CEDA data archive.\r\n\r\nBetween releases the Met Office make available provisional data, covered by this catalogue entry, for which recent months are available to download via the HadObs website. The latest data will be added shortly after the end of each month.\r\n\r\nThese provisional data can be used to extend the data series available in the latest release on CEDA.\r\n\r\nThe provisional data are produced for routine monitoring activities at the Met Office. These provisional versions therefore will be subject to amendment or revision before they become part of a fully citeable version of the dataset available from CEDA.\r\n\r\nThe provisional grids are generated from station observations available in near-real time. Although basic checks to eliminate any obviously suspect values will have been applied, the observations will not have been through the full quality control process. The provisional grids will also be based on fewer stations than the annual releases as not all stations report in near-real time. This is most significant for rainfall for which a large proportion of the observations are received in slower time.\r\n\r\nThe provisional data files are only provided for a subset of the full HadUK-Grid dataset. The provisional gridded data produced are:\r\n\r\nDaily: max and min temperatures (tasmax, tasmin) and rainfall\r\nMonthly: average, min and max air temperatures (tas, tasmax, tasmin), rainfall, sunshine, ground frost and surface wind\r\n\r\nFour variables are not included because the files are not generated in near-real time - these are relative humidity, mean sea level pressure, vapour pressure and days of snow lying. Seasonal and annual grids and area averages are also excluded. National and regional averages can be found on the Met Office website (see online link on this record).\r\n\r\nTo reduce storage requirements and download times we have applied additional file compression to the provisional datasets compared to the annual release. This will have the effect of a small reduction in the precision of the data.\r\n\r\nNote that the Met Office provisional HadUK-Grid content is not an operational service and the page will be maintained on a best endeavours basis. Data files will be removed from there once superseded by the next annual release via the CEDA archive.\r\n\r\nThe primary purpose of these data are to facilitate monitoring of UK climate and research into climate change, impacts and adaptation. The datasets have been created by the Met Office with financial support from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in order to support the Public Weather Service Customer Group (PWSCG), the Hadley Centre Climate Programme, and the UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) project. The output from a number of data recovery activities relating to 19th and early 20th Century data have been used in the creation of this dataset, these activities were supported by: the Met Office Hadley Centre Climate Programme; the Natural Environment Research Council project \"Analysis of historic drought and water scarcity in the UK\"; the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Strategic Priorities Fund UK Climate Resilience programme; The UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Public Engagement programme; the National Centre for Atmospheric Science; National Centre for Atmospheric Science and the NERC GloSAT project; and the contribution of many thousands of public volunteers.
